Students of the Month - November

I love music because it makes me feel good, it’s fun and is exciting.  I am happy and proud to be able to play my favorite songs at guitar.
-Abel A., Guitar Student

Abel is such a wonderful student and musician! He is kind, respectful, and is always enthusiastic about making music and learning more about music. He is always prepared to play in the ensembles in class, and he is a great example of a great musician and student. We are lucky to have him in our class!

I love music because it puts me in a good mood, and I love that I can learn to play songs on the violin.  I have enjoyed learning from Mr. Ernesto.  He is very nice and helps me get better.  I am excited about my first Friendship Concert next weekend!
​-Bella DePalma, Violin Student

Bella has been playing violin for almost one year now and has an incredible work ethic in and out of lessons. Bella is an incredibly fun student to teach, and she always comes exceptionally prepared. I am excited to continue to work with her and see how she grows as a musician.

I love music because it gives you something to do, and I get to make new friends in Musicianship 3. I love music! You get to listen to it and sometimes play it. Music is a really fun talent you get. I love music!

Alexandra S.

I like to learn music because once I memorize a song, I don’t even need an instrument to enjoy it; I can tap it on my lap or just hum it in my mind. I never feel bored. I also like playing piano for my friends and family because it makes them happy to hear me play. Music is impressive and fun, that is why I love it so much.
-Alexandra S., Piano Student

Alexandra Smith shows great leadership in class by participating with energy, joy, focus, and through her clear and confident singing. She always comes in prepared with her homework! I especially like how she takes her to hear the music in her mind before answering a question. Having her in class makes everyone's learning experience better!
-Klondike Steadman, Musicianship Instructor
